Traco Brown Sofa by Paolo Cappello
About the Item
The clean and smooth aesthetic of this elegant sofa standing on four, egg-shaped ash feet (also in polished aluminum upon request) makes it a spot-on choice to complement commercial and residential decors. Natural latex and cotton are stuffed into the inner steel frame, combined with the general structure in directional European plywood. Evident, tone-on-tone stitching graces the vegetable-tanned brown leather to emphasize the design's sculpted look.

“Squash” Brown Sofa by Paolo Deganello for Driade
By Paolo Deganello
Located in Pasadena, CA
Sculptural, Minimalist 1980s sofa by famed Italian designer Paolo Deganello (b. 1940). The sofa is discussed in “Repertorio del Design Italiano 1950-2000,” by G. Gramigna, p. 212 (2003).
In 1966 Deganello cofounded the Archizoom Associati in Florence. The collective was named after the British group of architects known as Archigram and the journal “Zoom.” Part of the radical design movement in Italy, Archizoom created anti-design furniture, such as the corner set “Safari” and the “San Remo” palm-frond lamp (both 1968 for Poltronova). After the group ended in the early 1970s, he continued with his private practice as an architect and designer in Milan, with commissions in Italy and abroad. Deganello’s work was featured in numerous exhibitions, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York’s groundbreaking, “Italy: The New Domestic Landscape,” in 1972.
